I kind of think he was punished more for his philosophy than the drugs tbh. It’s hard to describe the appeal of SR to normal people but it was full of privacy info, tech info, cryptography and Bitcoin info and if that discussion wasn’t your thing there was a book club or a philosophy board. It was also demonstrated proof that Bitcoin worked in practice. No drug market after captured the feel of SR and it’s mostly now a commercial venture not that I use them much at all these days. Was also packed full of people who spent their days advising people how to safely use drugs and to test etc. It really did feel like a true community. I think BMR was probably the only other market that had anything close to it that didn’t eventually exit scam but verto(?) didn’t have the charisma or presence of DPR in my memory of it anyway.
